Using RestSharp Api

Hi Naimish

 Can u explain me below 2 lines , how they work

var response = client.Execute(request);

var tagResponse = clientTag.Execute(tagRequest)

Secondly on below line i am getting same error - if (tagResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
  does not contain a definition for      IsSuccessStatusCode        

Thanks

Hello Ramco,

Can you please share your response data? It seems the response from the API is not valid due to that this exception is coming. 

Thanks

Hello Ramco,

Use below code.

private void Run()

    var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
    var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.Get);
    request.AddQueryParameter("part", "snippet");

    request.AddQueryParameter("publishedBefore", DateTime.Today.AddDays(1).ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"));
    request.AddQueryParameter("order", "viewCount");
    request.AddQueryParameter("key", "YOUR_KEY");

    var response = client.Execute(request);

    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        foreach (var data in response.Data.items)
        {
            // GetTags(data.id.videoId);
            Console.WriteLine(data.id.videoId);

            var clientTag = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
            var tagRequest = new RestRequest("videos", Method.Get);
            tagRequest.AddParameter("key", "YOUR_KEY");
            tagRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet");

            tagRequest.AddParameter("id", data.id.videoId);
            var tagResponse = clientTag.Execute(tagRequest);
            if (tagResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                foreach (var searchResult in tagResponse.Data.Items)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("-----------------");
                    Console.WriteLine(searchResult.Id); //This is your video id.
                    Console.WriteLine("-----------------");

                    if (searchResult.Snippet != null && searchResult.Snippet.Tags != null)
                    {
                        foreach (var tags in searchResult.Snippet.Tags)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine(tags); //here you can get and store tag
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        Console.ReadLine();

The id parameter specifies a comma-separated list of the YouTube video ID(s) for the resource(s) that are being retrieved. In a video resource, the id property specifies the video's ID.

Hi Naimish

  How i can get the list of most viewed videos using Restsharp & then pass 1 by 1 ID of videos to get Tags

Thanks

Hello Ramco,

You can call google api using below call,

var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;
request.Resource = "youtube/v3/videos?key=your-key&fields=items(snippet(title,description,tags))&part=snippet&id=youtube-id}";
request.AddParameter("part", "snippet,status", ParameterType.UrlSegment);
request.AddParameter("key", "MyClientId", ParameterType.UrlSegment);
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + "MyAccessCode");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
request.AddBody(anObject); //<== Here you should use an object. RestSharp will do the serialization!

try
{
    var response = client.Execute(request);
    
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    //Catch exception here
}

Hello Ramco,

Use below code.

var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
var request = new RestRequest("videos", Method.Get);
request.AddParameter("key", "your-key");
request.AddParameter("fields", "items(snippet(title,description,tags))");
request.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
request.AddParameter("id", "youtube-id");
var response = client.Execute(request);

Thanks
